Abstract:
Chitoniya Tharu is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by an indigenous group known
as Tharu residing in the Chitwan and eastern part of Nawalparasi districts of
Nepal. Jitiya Pawani is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in this
community. It is celebrated for three days beginning on Ashwin Krishna
Saptami, the seventh day of the crescent moon, and concluding on Aswin Krishna
Nawami, the ninth day of the crescent moon that generally fall in the third
week of September every year.
The text analyzed here is a mythological story that is recited during the
Pooja practice in the evening of the Pawani proper when all the devotees
listen to the story wishing their sons to be just like Jeetbahan, the
protagonist of the story. Jeetbahan is an epic hero who wins every game when
he is young and finds solutions to the problems of different people while he
is in search of his God father. Having met his God father and solved the
problems of concerned creatures, Jeetbahan, along with his two wives, returns
home happy and prosperous. Ultimately, he conveys the God’s message to the
community people that they all should celebrate a festival after Jeetbahan’s
name so that they could be happy and prosperous like Jeetbahan himself. This
text, thus, has great cultural importance, and as it contains different kinds
of natural texts, it is even more significant from linguistic perspective.
